Every year, new phones, new CPUs, new everything arrives in the hope you’ll upgrade at some point, with WiFi getting a nice new upgrade to support ever faster speeds, with Netgear, Linksys, TP-Link, ASUS and others set to release 6E routers this year which uses the 6Ghz band that is "free of interference and congestion" - in 2021, at least!

Optus has announced the release of a new network status map, called Network Experience Maps (NE-Maps), which it claims transforms customers mobile and website experience by enabling them to raise an issue with the mobile network “when and where” a problem is occurring and opt-in to SMS/email updates about a known or reported issue.

Australia’s competition watchdog, the ACCC, has published a guide for NBN fixed wireless customers, advising them how to seek compensation when they encounter problems with broadband services, including slow speeds.

The only way that the NBN Co, the company rolling out the Australian national broadband network, can achieve its stated aim of reaching its goal of $52 average revenue per user by the time the rollout ends, is by earnings from what is called CVC "overage", the head of a small RSP claims.

Broadband provider Aussie Broadband has had to remove the words "congestion-free" from its advertising after the competition watchdog raised concerns about the use of these words with the company.

The president of a professional IT lobby group has taken NBN Co chief executive Bill Morrow to task over his reported comments that gamers were to blame for congestion on the NBN fixed wireless network at peak times and they may be subject to lower speeds in order to fix the problem.
